Dying on the Inside Songtext
von Nessa Barrett

You should take it as a compliment
If I were you, I would be more confident
You′re lucky that you're pretty
Why are you obsessed with your appearance?
I don′t wanna hear it, you're fine

It's been my best-kept secret for a while now
No one ever sees it, but it′s all around
It′s the dinner conversation no one talks about
Don't know how much longer I can keep this down

Beauty is a knife I′ve been holding by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
It′s all a lie, honestly, it's eating me alive
They′re all like
"Did you change your hair?"
"Did you lose a little weight?"
"You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great"
I hate that I always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside
When I′m dying on the inside


I wish I could break the mirror
That makes me feel like I should fucking disappear
And drown my demons in a bathtub filled with tears
No matter what I try, they always seem to come back to life

What if I didn′t do this to my body?
What if I quit and then you don't want me?
The dinner conversation no one talks about
Don′t know how much longer I can keep this down

Beauty is a knife I've been holding by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won′t eat anything
It's all a lie, honestly, it′s eating me alive
They're all like
"Did you change your hair?"
"Did you lose a little weight?"
"You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great"
I hate that I always look my best
When I′m dying on the inside
When I′m dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside


You should take it as a compliment
If I were you, I would be more confident
You′re lucky that you're pretty
Why are you obsessed with your appearance?
I don′t wanna hear it, you're fine

Beauty is a knife I′ve been holding by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
It's all a lie, honestly, it′s eating me alive
They′re all like
"Did you change your hair?"
"Did you lose a little weight?"
"You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great"
I hate that I always look my best
When I′m dying on the inside
